Rosemary has no effect on the effectiveness of Vibin contraceptive pills. We wrote about what substances weaken the effect of contraception here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji

No, it does not affect.
No, it does not affect.
I understand, so rosemary in the form of an ordinary spice does not affect the effectiveness of contraceptive pills?

My answer concerned rosemary in the form of an herb/ spice in the daily diet, where we do not consume it in large quantities and does not contain high concentrations of active substances, while in the question you sent, the statement concerns the rosemary extract (packed in active substances) contained in the drug Canephron. There is very weak and limited evidence pointing to the effect of rosemary extract on estrogen deactivation, which could potentially interfere with contraceptive pills. The study was conducted on mice in 1998: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9806165/ Its results have not yet been confirmed.
I would like to ask about this answer, because here it is written that rosemary affects the effectiveness of tablets. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/39514/vines-czy-canephron-moze-oslabiac-skutecznosc-leku-vines Are there any studies that would confirm this thesis?
